MPD said the officer accused of shooting Banks, Jamarcus Jeames, 26, resigned from the department on Feb. 15 during an administrative hearing. Jeames would have potentially faced disciplinary actions ranging from a written reprimand to termination, police said.

His resignation comes after the investigation of Banks' shooting was completed by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations and passed on to the office of the district attorney.

Officer Christopher Nowell received a 20-day unpaid suspension and written reprimand after an administrative hearing on Feb. 21. An investigation found he turned off his body-worn cameras after he lost sight of Banks and other officers during a traffic stop as Banks fled, police said.

Officer Michael Williams received a 20-day unpaid suspension and written reprimand after an administrative hearing found Williams in violation of the department's body-worn camera policy by deactivating his body-worn camera while driving his patrol car, police said. Williams did activate his body-worn camera upon his arrival at 1258 Gill while the officer-involved shooting was occurring, police said.

Williams was also found missing two rounds of ammunition, but officers said he did not use his firearm at the scene.

Lt. Charles Mowery also received a 5-day unpaid suspension after an administrative hearing revealed he did not turn on his body camera when arriving at the scene, police said.

“We have one of the best police departments in the nation because we have dedicated officers, the best training, and departmental policies," said Police Director Michael Rallings in a statement on Friday.

"As the Director of Police Services, it is unacceptable when an officer does not follow our policies. Any violation of policy will not be tolerated."

Arthur Horne, Martavious Banks' lawyer, confirmed he was told by sources that Jeames resigned from the department.

Horne released a statement following news of the resignation on Friday.

"Martavious Banks, his family and legal team are encouraged by ... the resignation of Officer Jamarcus Jeames," the statement read.

"We remain hopeful that the other two officers involved in the shooting of Mr. Banks will also be terminated and that all three officers will be indicted for attempted murder by Amy Weirich and the Shelby County District Attorney's Office. We will continue to wait patiently for the DA Office's review of the TBI report."

In a later statement, Banks' lawyers and family expressed dissatisfaction with the disciplinary action taken against the other officers.

“Martavious Banks, his family and Legal team are saddened by today’s events. Although Officer Jamarcus Jeames has resigned, we are not happy about the punishment given to Officer Christopher Nowell and Officer Michael Williams II. It was our hope and belief that all of these officers should have been terminated,” the statement said.

“Anything short of termination for the officers’ conduct would be egregious.”
